If you were linked to this list directly without reading the install instructions, please go back and read them here. There are some setup and general best-practice steps you need to be aware of before beginning the install process.

General Instructions

Although this is a mobile-compatible build, due to required compatibility tools we must use to get this build working, you will need to install all mods to a 'dummy directory' on your PC or Mac first, then move that completed package over all at once to your phone in order for the builds to apply properly. This means you MUST have a PC or Mac in order to utilize this build for mobile, although you CAN install just MTSLRCM (the mobile version of The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod) with just your mobile device.

It is critical to ensure that you only have ONE installation of KOTOR 2 on your device before beginning. If you have multiple installations, or even just two executables in different locations, TSLPatcher executables which are set up to auto-detect your installation directory will misidentify which one is correct and install the mods wherever they please, probably spiking your whole install in the process. This is particularly important for installing the mobile builds, as I imagine many users will have a PC version of the game installed on the same computer which they are using to set up the mobile builds! For the sake of stability: if you have a copy of KOTOR 2 installed on your device already, compress it to an archive using a program like WinRAR or 7zip, and delete the loose files left over. Then, when the install process is completed, extract the archive where the previous install was located and your local game will be preserved.

Please also note that the TSLPatcher executable utilized in the installation process of many of these mods (frustratingly) does not function on multi-monitor setups. If you have more than one monitor on the device which you're utilizing the dummy directory on, you will need to disable your second while installing the mods, but you can re-enable it once the installation process is complete.

As a final note, please bear in mind: if you are asked to direct a TSLPatcher executable to a folder to begin install, that folder should ALWAYS be your 'dummy directory', the folder which contains the KOTOR 2 editable executable, which you will put together during the TSLRCM installation step. For mods that are NOT installed with the TSLPatcher, unless otherwise noted their loose-file contents are most often placed directly in the Override directory. Unless you are following specific instructions (the mod author's or my own) that state otherwise, you should not be placing files directly in the dummy directory. You should never have any subfolders inside the Modules or Override folders within the dummy directory.

Mac OS Users

It is required to be able to run executable files in order to install this list. A wrapper program like Wineskin or some other option which will allow you to run executable files is necessary in order to proceed.

Updating from a Prior Build

If you currently have a prior mod build version installed on your device and would like to update to the current Revision, due to the importance of install order to the mod builds' function, there is unfortunately no way to do so without resetting to a fresh install and reinstalling the new build iteration on top. To do this, you will need to uninstall your game (make sure modded contents are also deleted as part of the uninstall, and if they aren't, delete them manually!) then reinstall the game on your device before reconstructing a new install based off of the updated mobile build Revision and transferring the new mod set to your device, placing it over the freshly-reinstalled game.

TSLRCM

Name: Mobile TSLRCM (The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod)

Author: zbyl2, DarthStoney, Hassat Hunter & VarsityPuppet

Description: The whole reason why you would mod KOTOR 2, the legendary mod that includes bugfixes, restored content, and altered scenes to return the game to what it was meant to be. This mod isn't just essential—it's mandatory.

Category & Tier: Bugfix, Immersion, Mechanics Change & Restored Content / 1 - Essential

Non-English Functionality: YES, but you must install the version of MTSLRCM which corresponds to your language of choice.

Installation Method: Loose-File Mod

Installation Instructions: For now, disregard the installation instructions included in the mod, as we will be dragging over the completed installation in batch. Once the mod is downloaded, extract it to a location of your choice on your PC/Mac and delete everything inside the dlc folder except for the 'mods_x' directory, the 'x' corresponding to your language of choice.

You now need to download this file and place it within your mods_x folder. This file is critical for future installations to function properly. This is a dummy .exe file which lets later mods install to the right place on your device, and without error. We will delete it as one of the final steps of this installation process, as it's only needed for installations to function normally.

From this point forward all mods are installed as if the mods_x folder is the main game directory. For any TSLPatcher executable which asks you to select the main game folder/folder with the executable in it, you will select the mods_x folder. Similarly, any mods directing you to place their files within the game's override folder will be placed within the override folder within mods_x.

TSLRCM Tweak Pack

Name: TSLRCM Tweak Pack

Author: Pavijan (update by Fair Strides)

Description: Reverts and otherwise modifies certain TSLRCM settings to make the game more sensible and internally consistent (mostly unrestoring content which was likely intentionally cut by Obsidian). This includes removing Jedi Padawan Kaevee.

Masters: TSLRCM

Category & Tier: Patch / 1 - Essential

Non-English Functionality: PARTIAL - All components can be installed except for Trayus Mandalore Conversation.

Installation Method: Multi-Run TSLPatcher

Installation Instructions: Don't use the complete installer, instead selecting the individual component installer—this is critical for compatibility, not just to choose specific options. The installer for this mod will need to be run 7 times, once to install each of the options we'll be using: Kaevee Removal Parts 1 & 2, Saedhe's Head, Atton at the End, Kreia-Atris Dialogue Tweak, Trayus Mandalore Conversation, and Trayus Sith Lord Masks.

Saving Throw Fixes

Name: Prestige Class Saving Throw Fixes

Author: Rovan

Category & Tier: Mechanics Change / 2 - Recommended

Robes with Shadows

Remote Tells Influence

Name: Remote Tells Influence and PATCH

Author: tk102, patch by Leilukin

Description: This is going to require a bit of an explanation. I personally believe this mod breaks immersion—so why add it? The bottom-line is that KOTOR 2's influence system is asinine, and major plot points are locked behind very high—or very low—influence with several companions. Your influence with companions is also extremely obfuscated, only really discernible by their LS/DS alignment relative to your alignment, but this is a very buggy system which breaks with high Charisma values on the player, or with certain feats. There is no other way ingame to tell what your influence is without this mod. I mark it as optional because it does break immersion, but for many players I think having a system to determine influence will be extremely important for enjoyment of the story.

Reflective Lightsaber Blades

Name: New Lightsaber Blade Models

Author: Crazy34

Description: With this mod, Crazy34 walked into the community, slammed down one of the most impressive mods ever made for this game, and dared us to do better. Not only have they split the blade texture in two to allow for lightsabers with cores of a different color (currently unsupported in the build release, but hopefully coming soon), they've also added dynamic reflections to each and every lightsaber across almost every area of the game. When you're fighting a Dark Jedi, you're going to see your faces bathed in shifting colors, fading and brightening as you swing your lightsabers; when you ignite your saber in a hallway, it will reflect on the floor and walls, and will realistically increase in intensity as the blade draws nearer to the surface. This is an incredible project, and easily one of the most important—and impressive—mods ever released for KOTOR. In the next few years, it could completely change the face of lightsaber modding.

PartySwap

Name: PartySwap

Author: DarthTyren & Leilukin

Description: PartySwap is a legendary mod, and one of the best ever made for KOTOR 2. Through some unobtrusive scripting magic, it allows you to bring both the Disciple and Handmaiden with you as companions simultaneously, without removing another companion from the party wheel. You can experience all their content and use them both throughout the entire campaign, as was originally intended by Obsidian.

Be aware, however, that PartySwap does require some fourth wall-breaking elements, including the need to use a script and dialogue window to summon the Handmaiden in order for its party trickery to work. I don't like this any more than you probably do, but I still think having both the Handmaiden and Disciple is far superior to having only one of them, and I think it's an acceptable price for what the mod provides.

The mod gives you a stim to manage the Handmaiden and Disciple (spawning & despawning them) which you use to run the script. This stim appears in the shields quickbar at the bottom-left of the screen, however; be aware of this, since it doesn't show up in the normal stims category!

Rescaled Trandoshans

Name: Rescaled Trandoshans

Author: Schizo

Description: Canonically Trandoshans are huge, almost as tall as a Wookiee. This mod rescales them to the proper height.

Category & Tier: Immersion / 4 - Optional

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: TSLPatcher Mod

Luxa Fix

Name: Luxa Hair Fix

Author: redrob41

Description: There's just no way around it: Luxa's model is all kinds of fucked up. This mod accomplishes a herculean task in getting her to look not just normal, but excellent.

Category & Tier: Graphics Improvement / 2 - Recommended

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: TSLPatcher & Loose-File Mod

Installation Instructions: Run the TSLPatcher for the Head Fix, then enter the Body Model folder and use the screenshots included with the mod to select either option 1 or 2 (I recommend 2) and run the requisite patcher. Then use the screenshots to determine whether you should utilize the alternate texture located in the Body Options folder (recommended).

Visually Repair HK

Name: Visually Repair HK-47

Author: Kexikus

Description: This mod brings to KOTOR 2 the same concept that the original game had with repairing HK. In addition to moderately increasing HK's stats over the course of the repairs (a much-welcome improvement, as droids in KOTOR 2 tend to underperform anyway), this mod also allows you to visually see HK become his old self again as the HK-50 components are gradually integrated, fixed and painted-over. The mod even includes some excellent reskins of the HK-50s and -51s! AND it's fully-voiced in a seamless way using original game dialogue! You'll have to forgive me, this is like a wet dream for me, seriously.

Non-English Functionality: NO

Installation Method: TSLPatcher Mod

Installation Instructions: Select between one of the two TSLRCM-compatible install options.

Handmaiden Fit Model

Name: Handmaiden - Fit and Athletic and Patch

Author: Fair Strides, patch by JCarter426

Description: The Handmaiden has an inhumanly thin waist and scrawny arms by default. This mod fixes both as best it can, leaving her appearing more realistic and giving her at least some indication of upper arm strength.

Category & Tier: Appearance Change / 2 - Recommended

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: TSLPatcher Mod & Loose-File Patch

Installation Instructions: Ignore all the loose files in the folder; use the TSLPatcher to install the mod.

JC's Handmaiden Sisters

Name: JC's Handmaiden Sisters

Author: JCarter426

Description: By default, KOTOR 2 has all the handmaidens look exactly the same, except for Brianna herself. This mod restores the original intended appearance of the other sisters, so it actually makes sense when they say that Brianna honors the face of her mother.

Category & Tier: Restored Content & Immersion / 2 - Recommended

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: TSLPatcher Mod

Installation Instructions: Install the TSLRCM option.

TSL Galaxymap Fixpack

Name: TSL Galaxy Map Fix Pack

Author: bead-v, Kexikus, and Sith Holocron

Description: Moves the planets of KOTOR 2 to their old canon galactic positions and animates the Ebon Hawk's galaxy map.

Category & Tier: Graphics Improvement & Immersion / 3 - Suggested

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: TSLPatcher Mod

Installation Instructions: Install the Vanilla/TSLRCM option.

Fixed Hologram Models

Name: Fixed Hologram Models & Admiralty Redux

Author: DarthParametric

Description: By default the hologram models in TSL are essentially just character models with a transparency effect, which means you can see their models' eye sockets and other internal features through the hologram filter. This mod fixes all these model errors that it can, while also bringing back the Admiralty mod of yore, which reskins Carth and Cede to properly wear Republic officer uniforms in their holograms and in-game appearances.

Masters: TSLRCM

Category & Tier: Bugfix & Graphics Improvement & Appearance Change / 1 - Essential

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: TSLPatcher Mod

Download Instructions: Download just the main file, not the robes patch.

Assassins with Lightsabers

Name: Sith Assassins with Lightsabers

Author: Shem

Description: Replaces the Sith Assassins' default weaponry with lightsabers. It makes more sense that they would hunt the last of the Jedi with weapons meant to face them.

Be ready for a hard slog through the Harbinger if you choose to use this mod.

Player & Party Underwear

Name: Player & Party Underwear

Author: redrob41

Description: I'm not a sex-pervert, I swear. We use this mod because of the improvements it makes to the base character models, and also for its fixes to some texture mapping, such as the male player's default underwear model.

Category & Tier: Appearance Change & Bugfix / 2 - Recommended

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: Multiple TSLPatchers & Loose-File Mod

Installation Instructions: Male and female PCs, Mira, the Disciple and Atton are the only changes that can be used from this pack. Use the linked pictures on deadlystream to decide which packages of those you would like to use, then (for the male and female PCs) move the files to the override or (for Mira, the Disciple and Atton) run the TSLPatcher to install for each version. Note that for female PCs, one of the four underwear replacers can be chosen in addition to the "Dancer Muscles" fix, which changes the PC's model specifically for that one outfit.

Companion Clothes

Name: Companion Starting Armors

Author: Ol' Cappy

Description: Giving companions a unique version of their default clothes so they can keep their 'standard' look throughout the entire game while still having mechanically powerful equipment is a very common mod type. I typically don't like these mods, not because I disagree with the premise but because I tend to balk at +10 WIS modifiers on starting gear. Ol' Cappy, in my opinion, does it right here—these are unique clothes for most of the human companions which don't give insane bonuses, but instead small, rational, and most importantly balanced, lore-friendly and internally-consistent bonuses. These items are never going to be the best your team can get, but they are flavorful additions which will let you keep them in their default get a bit longer, if you so choose.

Bao-Dur/Darth Maul

Name: Bao-Dur/Darth Maul

Author: Nimduril

Description: Reskins Bao-Dur to have a different default appearance, but also to have a complete Dark Side transformation.

Realistic Visual Effects

Name: Realistic Visual Effects

Author: Shem

Description: Removes glowing and other similar unrealistic visual effects when using power strikes, flurries, etc.

Category & Tier: Appearance Change / 2 - Recommended

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: TSLPatcher Mod

Improved AI

Name: Improved AI and Patch

Author: Stoffe

Description: The improved AI mod stops in-game characters from using weaker versions of feats (IE Flurry instead of Advanced Flurry), making characters that Obsidian deemed to be harder foes truly more difficult to defeat.

Category & Tier: Mechanics Change / 1 - Essential

Non-English Functionality: YES

Installation Method: TSLPatcher Mod & Loose-File Patch

Compatibility Warning: This mod has a minor incompatibility with TSLRCM which causes the player to sometimes be unable to select a third party member during the party fight sequence on Nar Shaddaa. Utilizing the KOTOR 2 Community Patch fully rectifies this problem.

Installation Instructions: The first executable you see is a self-extracting archive; when you find it, just run it and extract to the pre-listed folder (the one the mod is currently in). It will extract the TSLPatcher .exe which you will run as usual to install the mod. When the install is completed, move the patch file into your game's override directory and overwrite.

Do NOT use the version for High Level Force Powers; if you were planning on using HLFP, either remove HLFP (recommended) or DO NOT USE Improved AI. There is a compatibility issue when using HLFP and Improved AI together in this build.

iOS Case Sensitivity Fix

Name: Case Sensitivity Fix (or Terminal line commands for non-Windows OSes—see below)

Author: JCarter426

Description: KOTOR on mobile devices has case sensitivity. To make these mods function properly on iOS, the files must be batch-renamed to their case-sensitive versions. This step is ONLY NEEDED IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE PLAYING ON AN iOS DEVICE!

Category & Tier: Bugfix / 1 - Essential

Installation Instructions: Before proceeding, delete the dummy executable used to facilitate the mod installations. If the device you're currently using runs a Windows OS, download one of the executable files from the linked github page matching your operating system's architecture (32-bit or 64-bit; google which your Windows OS is if you're not sure), place the file in the main dummy directory which you have created to install the mods to (NOT the override folder), and run the executable.

If you are on MacOS or Linux, first, run Terminal and navigate to your mods_english directory with the cd command.

cd [full filepath to mods_english on your device]

Then, enter the following command:

find . -depth | xargs -n 1 rename -f 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;

If you are prompted for permission, rerun the command with elevated privileges using the sudo command.

sudo find . -depth | xargs -n 1 rename -f 's/(.*)\/([^\/]*)/$1\/\L$2/' {} \;

For more information:

• cd command

• sudo command

First, navigate to mods_english's override directory, locate, and delete two files, if they're present: "CM_baremetal.tga" and "CM_baremetal.txi".

Once that's completed, if you did not complete the case sensitivity step, delete the dummy executable file in mods_english which you downloaded at the beginning of the process now. Your install is now complete! You can now connect your mobile device to your system, and move the dlc folder containing the mods_english folder to the install point for your device:

iOS: On iOS, they are placed in iTunes > Apps > Documents, in the same spot that the ‘saves’ folder goes.

ANDROID: On Android the files should be placed in /Home/Android/data/com.aspyr.swkotor2/files/
